Battery operation
1. Remove the battery cover on the back of the unit by pushing the catch
down and lifting the cover off.
2. Insert four LR6 (AA size) batteries into the spaces in the compartment.
Take care to ensure all batteries are inserted with the correct polarity as
shown on the battery compartment cover. Replace the battery cover.
Rechargeable batteries may be used but must be charged in an
external battery charger.
3. The low battery indicator
showing at the bottom of the playing
displays, reduced power, distortion and a ‘stuttering’ sound are all
signs that the batteries may need replacing. When the batteries have
full charge the full battery indicator will be shown on the playing
display.
4. The alarm clock function may be used when the radio is powered from
batteries (see page 15).
5. If the radio is not to be used for any extended period of time it is
recommended that the batteries are removed from the radio.

Navigation controls
This page describes the basic means of controlling your Play T1 radio. Detailed instructions
for each operating mode are given in the later sections of this book.
1. Pressing and releasing the On/Standby button brings your radio out of the
Standby mode if running from the mains or switches it on if using batteries.
Pressing and releasing the On/Standby button while the radio is in use will cause it
to return to the Standby mode with the clock display when running from the mains, or
will switch it off after a short delay when running on batteries.
2. Pressing the Mode button gives you access to each of the operating modes in turn:
DAB radio, FM radio and Auxiliary Input.
Alternatively, press the Mode button and then turn the Tuning/Select control clockwise
or anti-clockwise to highlight the desired menu item then press the control to select
that item.
3. Pressing the Menu button will access the menu system.
4. Many operations require the user to make a selection from the menu. This is done using
the Tuning/Select control. Turn the control clockwise or anti-clockwise to highlight the
desired menu item then press the control to select that item.
If there are more than six items in a menu, then the display will automatically scroll up
or down so that the additional items become visible.
If there are many items in a menu, then the radio allows the menu to 'wrap around'
in either direction. This can make it easier to reach items at the end of a long menu,
such as a list of DAB radio stations.
5. If an error is made when navigating the menus, it is generally possible to go back to
a higher level menu by pressing the Menu button.
6. The Tuning/Select control allows the display of information relating to the radio station.
Note: In this booklet press always means press and release. If it is required to give a
long press on a button this is described as apply a long press and the button should
be held down for 2 to 3 seconds until the radio has responded.

IMPORTANT: The mains adaptor is used as the means of connecting
the product to the mains supply. The mains socket and any multi-way
mains block used for the product must remain accessible during
normal use. In order to disconnect the product from the mains, the
mains adaptor should be removed from the mains socket completely.
Use only the mains adaptor provided with the product, or a genuine
replacement provided by Roberts Radio. The use of alternative adaptors
will invalidate the guarantee.

Prune stations - DAB
If you move to a different part of the country, some of the stations which were listed may
no longer be available. Also, from time to time, some DAB services may stop broadcasting,
or may change location or frequency. Stations which cannot be found, or which have
not been received for a very long time are shown in the station list with a question mark.
The Prune stations function will delete the marked DAB stations from your station list.
1. When in DAB mode, press Menu.
2. Choose 'Prune invalid' and then choose 'Yes' to cause the invalid station names to
be removed from the station list.
3. If you do not wish to prune stations choose 'No' in step 2 above.
Note: If you have moved your radio to a different part of the country you should also carry

Operating your radio - FM
1. Carefully extend the telescopic aerial. Press On/Standby to switch on the radio.
2. Press Mode until the 'FM' mode is selected.
3. Rotate the Tuning control clockwise. The displayed frequency will increase.
Apply a long press on the Tuning control to carry out an auto-tune. Your radio
will scan in an upwards direction (low frequency to high frequency) and stop
DXWRPDWLFDOO\ZKHQLW¿QGVDVWDWLRQRIVXI¿FLHQWVWUHQJWK
4. The display will show the frequency of the signal which has been found. If RDS
information is available, after a few seconds the display will show the radio station
name. If you only hear hiss or interference, simply apply a long press on the
control to scan further.
5. To scan down in frequency, rotate the Tuning control anti-clockwise and then apply
a long press on the control. Your radio will scan the FM band in a downwards
direction (high frequency to low frequency).

Scan sensitivity setting - FM
Your radio will normally scan for FM broadcasts which are strong enough to give

weaker signals, possibly from more distant radio transmitters. Your radio includes a
local / distant option for the Auto-scan function.
1. When in FM mode, press Menu.
2. Choose 'Scan setting'.
3. To set your radio so that only the stations with the strongest signals are found during
scanning choose 'Yes'. (Normally this will restrict scanning to local transmissions).
4. Alternatively, to set your radio so that all available stations are found during scanning
(local and distant transmissions) choose 'No'.
Note: The initial setting (out of the box, or after a System Reset) causes the radio
to ignore weaker (or more distant) signals.
Stereo / Mono switching - FM (headphones only)
Your radio will play stereo FM broadcasts in stereo (via headphones only) provided
that the received signal is of adequate strength. However, as a stereo signal becomes
weaker the audio signal will become poorer. It may be preferable to force the radio to
play the station in mono in order to reduce the level of background hiss.
1. Ensure your radio is in FM mode and tune to the required FM station.
2. To change the audio setting, press Menu.
3. Choose 'Audio setting'. The current audio setting is indicated with a tick. To switch
to mono in order to reduce the hiss from a weak FM signal choose 'Mono' or choose
'Stereo' to return to the normal automatic VWHUHRRUPRQR setting.

preset button. The preset number is shown at the bottom of the display screen.
Repeat this procedure as needed for the remaining presets.
4. Stations that are already stored in the presets may be over-written by following
the procedure described above.
Note: The radio station presets are retained in memory when the radio is switched
off and disconnected from the mains supply.
Recalling a preset using the preset buttons 1 - 5
1. Press On/Standby to switch on your radio.
2. Select either the DAB or FM mode using the Mode button.
3. Momentarily press the required Preset button (1-5). Your radio will then tune

Setting the alarm clock
Your radio has two alarms which can be set to wake you to DAB, FM radio or buzzer alarm. Each alarm can be set to sound once, daily, on weekdays
or at weekends. In the event of a power interruption your radio has a built in memory that will retain your alarm settings. Ensure that the time is set
correctly before setting the alarms.
Alarms can be set while the radio is in Standby mode or switched on. You may set the alarm duration to sound for 30, 60, 90 or 120 minutes. Please
see 7RVHWWKHDODUPGXUDWLRQ page 17.
